BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Chargers may be bolting town but the stadium drama remains as the SoccerCity initiative seeks to bring a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise to a revitalized Qualcomm Stadium site in Mission Valley. La Jolla-based FS Investors gathered over 100,000 signatures in two weeks to put the SoccerCity sports entertainment district before San Diego City Council on June 19. As it is a citizen’s initiative, the council has the option to approve it outright or send it to a citywide vote in a special election in November 2017 or the general election in June 2018. Measure L, which San Diego voters passed in November 2016, states that any major initiative or measure should be voted in a general election when the most people vote rather than in a special election. The measure, however, does give the council the

BY KAREN KUCHER At presstime for this newspaper, sheriff’s detectives were investigating a possible homicide at a home in Rancho Santa Fe after a 71-year-old man was found dead Tuesday afternoon, May 30, by his wife, a sheriff’s official said. Deputies went to the home on La Brisa near Calle Dos Lagos about noon after getting a 911 call from a woman who came home from running errands and found her husband mortally wounded, said sheriff’s homicide Lt. Kenn Nelson. Nelson said the victim had suffered trauma to his upper body and deputies summoned homicide investigators. He declined to say what kind of injuries the man had sustained. Nelson said detectives were looking for a suspect they had identified. Investigators are also waiting for a search warrant to enter the home. “We are still at the point of getting a search warrant for the property and need to get inside and get a better look at what evidence we have. And that will answer a lot of our questions,” Nelson said. This newspaper went to press Tuesday afternoon, May 30.

“It’s a growth mindset that these schools are great schools but what can we do for our students collectively to provide them the very best education not just academic, emotional and social development as well,” Jaffe said. “You can’t do that without going through a process like this… It brings us together around a common goal and develops a common language.” Jaffe hopes for the action plan to be completed and delivered to the school board by December.

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is embarking on a “self-study” process as Superintendent David Jaffe looks to develop an accountability and action plan for the district. An initial parent meeting was held on May 25 to discuss the steps necessary in “developing an organization that embraces continuous improvement with a focus on how to best serve the academic, social and emotional growth of every student.” In his short time since taking over as superintendent, Jaffe has observed and reviewed many of the district’s programs. He felt the one thing the organization needed was this process, establishing a clear plan to guide the district based on the input from all stakeholders in the school.

Celebrate Osuna returns for second year on June 10
Children participate in brick making at Celebrate Osuna.
CARLY EALEY
The Rancho Santa Fe Association is hosting the second annual Celebrate Osuna on Saturday, June 10 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Osuna Ranch, 16332 Via de Santa Fe in Rancho Santa Fe. Association members and their guests are invited to take a step back in time to enjoy the Ranch and its nearly 200-year-old adobe, one of California’s oldest adobe homes. Celebrate Osuna will be a fun and educational event that will showcase the history of Osuna Ranch, which dates back to the 1830s. Activities include live music,
equestrian demonstrations, a petting zoo and crafts such as adobe brick making. Members are also invited to sample Santa Maria -style BBQ and fresh churros. Tours of the 185-year-old adobe home will also be offered and, as part of the celebration, the RSF Historical Society will outfit one of the adobe rooms in traditional period furnishings. The event is a collaborative effort co-sponsored by the Osuna Committee, RSF Garden Club and RSF Historical Society. The Osuna
Committee, formed to preserve and enhance the ranch and adobe, supports this vibrant community resource for Association members. Since June 2016, Osuna Ranch has received $25,000 in restoration grants from the RSF Garden Club. These grants have funded landscaping additions to improve the site’s appearance, increased educational opportunities and restored the rich historical nature of the Ranch. For questions on the event, please contact Karlin Vance at (858) 756-1174 or karlin@rsfassociation.org.
Concert venue at fairgrounds clears hurdle
BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The Del Mar Fairgrounds took a significant step last week in its longtime effort to build a concert venue inside its off-track betting center, which has for years eked out a trickle of revenues. The 7-0 vote from the board of directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, to transform the Surfside Race Place doubled down on their position that the project does not require state environmental review, despite 11th hour entreaties to the contrary from Solana Beach and Del Mar. The May 23 decision does call on DAA staff to determine whether they will need a new permit from the California Coastal Commission.
Some of the Surfside Race Place’s wagering operations would remain in the reimagined facility. Preliminary designs call for a 1,900-seat amphitheater to fill roughly half of the building. The rest of the space would consist of a beer garden and an exhibit on the history of San Diego beer. The board signed off on a design package that caps the project at $13.2 million. A more precise estimate of construction costs is expected by mid-June. If their timeline holds, the revamped facility will be open by next summer. “It’s been in decline for a long time,” said Stephen Shewmaker, the board’s vice president. “We built this facility to house SEE VENUE, A22

RSF resident receives 2017 Ellis Island Medal of Honor Chun Bin (Charlie) Yim, D.B.A., a Rancho Santa Fe resident and Encinitas businessman who was born in South Korea, was celebrated as one of Ellis Island Medal of Honor 2017 recipients from across the nation at a ceremony presented by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations (NECO) in New York on May 13. In addition to Yim, this year’s honorees included former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, journalist Fareed Zakaria and other renowned individuals. One of the nation’s most prestigious awards, the Medal of Honor recognizes people who have maintained the traditions of their ethnic heritage and country of birth while upholding the ideals and spirit of America. Yim, who grew up in South Korea during a tumultuous time, served as Lieutenant at the DMZ during the Korean conflict, was hired by the U.S. Peace Corps in its early days to train American volunteers headed to Korea, and immigrated to San Diego, where he furthered his education and became a self-made, successful entrepreneur who has given back to the Asian-American community and American community at large. Having successfully navigated between cultures, Yim states, “I am a proud South Korean immigrant and an equally proud U.S. citizen. I strongly believe in the ability of cultures and countries to come together for mutual benefit. That is why I played an instrumental role in the fledgling maquiladora program in the 1980s, which
Chun Bin (Charlie) Yim at the ceremony. created jobs in America, Mexico, Korea and Japan. And that is why I have worked unstintingly to evangelize peace and foster mutual understanding and economic prosperity between North and South Korea, and among people of diverse nationalities here in the U.S.” Yim says, “Being at the site of Ellis Island was very moving. The Statue of Liberty represents a beacon of hope and opportunity
COURTESY
for immigrants like me. I want people from all backgrounds to understand that they, too can succeed, if they work hard. I give motivational presentations and have written a book to provide a road map to their success.” Yim’s compelling memoir, “I Will Work for Nothing … How I Harnessed Courage, Creativity and the Spirit of an Entrepreneur to Achieve the American Dream,” is available on Amazon. It reveals
how he obtained his first two jobs in the U.S. by literally offering to work for no pay – after which both employers enthusiastically hired him. Yim has received the 2007 Asian Heritage Award, 2009 Korean Presidential Achievement Award and 2014 United States Service Achievement Award. He also received an “as American as apple pie” accolade when he was selected to throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball spring training game for the 2016 champion Chicago Cubs in Mesa, Arizona. His decades of successes include more than 30 businesses and 50 real estate transactions. He currently owns Encinitas-based Sierra Padre Mill Company and is a well-known philanthropist, humanitarian and keynote speaker. Along with a lifetime of accomplishments, Yim remains a humble man with a buoyant spirit and well-honed sense of humor. He relates, “Returning home after the Ellis Island ceremony, I was stopped at the airport security checkpoint and asked by a security official what I had in my bag. I said, ‘It’s a medal.’ When he and his fellow officers opened the bag to discover the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, they congratulated me by saluting. One officer said, ‘You must be a billionaire. How come you’re not traveling in first class?’ I replied, ‘I like to be with the economy class people. They have common sense in life. I started in economy and I will never change that.’ The officers applauded me and nearby passengers clapped also. This was the most heartwarming part of my entire trip!”

Jazz Band traveled to the Irvine Jazz Festival in March where the big band earned 2nd place and the combo earned 1st place. Amy Gelb, the TPHS music director, has worked very hard with each of these classes to prepare for the festival season. “We prepared some very challenging pieces this year and my students have so much talent and dedication that all of the hard work produces great results,” Gelb said.

Wave Volleyball is taking its game to new heights BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s safe to say that Wave Volleyball suffers from an embarrassment of riches. The Del Mar-based club boasts top teenage talent guided by dozens of elite coaches and alumni every year who ascend to the best collegiate programs in the country. And now, they have the facility to go with it. Three years after embarking on their vision to turn a 55,000-square-foot dirt lot on Jimmy Durante Boulevard into a cutting-edge volleyball operation, Wave at last put the finishing touches on their gleaming facility this spring to include offices and space for players to relax and do homework. Wave’s owners and coaches celebrated the milestone with a ribbon-cutting last week. It was the culmination of a decade-old dream for Brennan and Kristen Dean, who bought Wave five years ago then partnered with their friends Doug and Rosanna Forsyth to take the club to a whole new level. “Our goal was to make the best facility in Southern California,” Brennan Dean said. “One sand court had been the initial idea. Then we saw this space and realized we could do a lot more.” So they turned the dirt lot across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds into a volleyball facility without rival in the San Diego region, with lighted sand courts, an on-site exercise facility tailor-made for

Wave Volleyball’s three-year effort to build an unrivaled facility has come to fruition. volleyball training, and three indoor courts featuring Olympic-quality flooring. That Teraflex surface is key. “The wood floors will tear you up pretty good,” Dean said. “[Teraflex] still has the bounce that a basketball floor has but it feels like a yoga mat when you sit on it.” The facility is fast becoming a regional hub for competitive youth volleyball. They’ve already hosted a tournament of 16 teams. In a few months, they’ll host a tournament of 32 high school teams. When Wave was founded in 2000,

Brennan and Kristen were on board as coaches. They’re now married, and Wave now draws top teenage talent from San Clemente to Temecula to the Mexican border. Demand the last couple years has shot through the roof, especially since the NCAA made women’s sand volleyball an official sport. They start at kindergarten age — with the aptly named “ripple” program — and go up to 18 years old. There are 40 teams in all, totaling some 600 kids. Year in and year out, Wave is one of the top 10 clubs
in the country, Dean said. Two of its coaches are former USA volleyball Olympians. The rest of the coaching roster is littered with current players at UC San Diego, the University of San Diego, Sand Diego State University and Point Loma Nazarene University. They have full-time staff dedicated to college recruitment, and nearly all the players go on to compete at a four-year college, Dean said —dozens of them on full scholarship. “We really make sure that we’re preparing our athletes for the next level by giving them next-level coaches,” he said. “We’ve got great families coming to support this club. We work really hard to get scholarships for our kids and get them opportunities. Another thing that we’re proud of here is the life skills that we’re able to teach these athletes. We think it’s a very unique, special place to teach kids.” And with the gleaming new facility, it’s not solely for the crème de la crème. “Because of this expansion we’re now able to bring any level of volleyball into this facility,” Dean said. “Beforehand we were only an elite volleyball club that had to turn away, unfortunately, a number of families due to the space. But now we’re able to expand and bring so many more new kids of different levels, so it’s really exciting for all of us to work with them.” Learn more at www.wavevb.com.

Author’s debut novel digs into roots and impacts of slavery BY JOE TASH Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel covers a huge sweep of history, touches on the lives of dozens of characters and takes place in two geographic settings - what is today the nation of Ghana, and the United States. “I wanted it to be clear that the things we see in the present do not appear out of nowhere,” said Gyasi, the featured speaker at the May 18 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar resort, discussing why she decided to cover such a large period of time in the novel. (See event photos, page B17.) The novel “Homegoing” covers the origins of the slave trade that joined Africa and America, and explores themes of love, loyalty, betrayal and cruelty, as well as painful truths about man’s inhumanity to man. The novel is structured as a series of interlocking stories, beginning in Africa’s northwest coast in the 1770s, and continuing to contemporary Harlem, Alabama and Palo Alto. The book was published in 2016 by Knopf. One thread that weaves through the novel is fire, and its flames lick at the reader’s consciousness from the book’s opening paragraph: “The night Effia Otcher was born into the musky heat of Fanteland, a fire raged through the woods just outside her father’s compound. It moved quickly, tearing a path for days. It lived off the air; it slept in caves and hid in trees; it burned, up and through, unconcerned with what wreckage it left behind, until it reached an Asante village. There, it disappeared, becoming one with the night.” Each chapter of “Homegoing” is named for a central character; the book’s chronology follows a family tree provided at the beginning of the

The story unfolds along parallel tracks, with each line of the family descending from one of two half-sisters. In an interview, Gyasi, who was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, said she got the idea for her first book when she was visiting her native country on a college fellowship to do research for her writing. She toured Cape Coast Castle, which was built by British colonizers, and learned that two different worlds existed simultaneously in the building. Above ground, British officers - some of them with African-born wives - lived lives of relative luxury. But down in the castle’s dungeons,
Africans destined to be shipped off to America for the slave trade were housed in horrific conditions. Gyasi set out to chronicle the dichotomy of those two very different experiences. At the center are the half-sisters, Effia and Esi, one of whom married a British officer and the other who was captured and shipped to America as a slave. Along with the barbarism of slavery, the book grapples with historical details of the slave trade, including the participation of African tribes in selling their countrymen into bondage. Details of the author’s own life wind up in her fictional account, as one character experiences
racist attitudes at her high school in Alabama, and another pursues graduate school at Stanford, where Gyasi earned her undergraduate degree before attending the Iowa Writers Workshop MFA program. Gyasi spent seven years working on her book, including a large amount of research on a wide range of topics. One searing chapter concerns a character’s entanglement with the infamous convict leasing system, in which freed slaves, after the Civil War ended, were jailed on minor or even made-up charges, then hired out by Southern states to private companies, such as mines and logging operations. The men were forced to work for no wages in a form of state-sanctioned slavery. “That system was kind of the beginning of the project of criminalizing black men for petty crimes,” and today’s mass incarcerations, Gyasi said. Gyasi, who now lives in New York, is working on a new novel, but said she is “superstitious” about discussing the project, which is in its early stages. As for her early success as a writer “Homegoing” was one of Oprah’s 10 favorite books of 2016, and it was also named NPR’s debut novel of the year - she said, “You never can predict how a book is going to do when you’re sitting at your desk writing it. So, to see it come to light in this way has been really amazing.” Also at the May 18 meeting, the Literary Society named the winners of its 2016-2017 Season annual writing contest. They were Chelsea Xu, Torrey Pines High School, first place; Simran Israni, Pacific Ridge School, first runner-up; and Margaux Paul, Torrey Pines High School, second runner-up.

On Wednesday, June 21, The Benedek Lecture Series of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF presents “The Miracle at Entebbe, an Evening with Sassy Reuven,” a veteran of the Israel Defense Special Operation Forces. During the terror-filled years of 1973-1976, Reuven served in the IDF’s elite “Red Beret” paratrooper unit. He participated in several covert operations in Israel’s mighty struggle against Arab terrorism. In July 1976, Sassy participated in the famed Entebbe counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission code named “Operation Thunderbolt,” flying thousands of miles over enemy territory to rescue Jewish hostages being held by terrorists in Uganda. A week earlier, on June 27, an Air France plane was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of

More than 100 Israeli and Jewish passengers remained as hostages and were threatened with death. Israeli transport planes carried 100 commandos over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) to Uganda for the rescue operation which took place at night. The operation lasted 90 minutes. One-hundred and two hostages were rescued. Five Israeli commandos were wounded and one, the
unit commander, Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed. All the hijackers, three hostages and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed. Reuven will share his personal experience, step-by-step from the moment he was called to duty, including the preparation for the mission, landing in Uganda and completing the mission behind enemy lines. His story is Israel’s story: of courage, endurance, defiance and a willingness to sacrifice it all for the right to live in your homeland in freedom. On Wednesday , June 21, at 7 p.m., Reuven will share his remarkable story at a private Rancho Santa Fe residence, a project of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF with special thanks to Drs. Andrew and Diana Benedek. Refreshments will be served, a book signing held and valet parking available.

Birthday cards continue to flow in for oldest Pearl Harbor survivor Volunteers needed to help address thank you cards The Spirit of Liberty Foundation has been working with the Postmaster General, Megan Brennan, at the United States Postal Service to honor the oldest Pear Harbor survivor Ray Chavez’s 105th birthday year, and to invite all of America to send him a birthday card or note. The United States Postal Service searched availability for a special 105 post office box number, which was located, and it’s Ray’s 105 Birthday/Box 105, Cardiff-by-the-Sea CA 92007. Recently, Juan Williams made a modest mention of the opportunity to send Chavez a card or note on Fox Television, and thousands of cards have
been received from across the country, 34 states and even Japan, Canada, Germany and other countries. Also, several hundred midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy literally sent handmade cards. Many of the cards and notes received are very patriotic. Added to the birthday letters sent by U.S. Presidents and American Patriot Senator Bob Dole, the United States Postmaster General sent her own personal birthday letter. The Spirit of Liberty Foundation, with the United States Postal Service, has created giant birthday cards, which the local, talented Del Mar Blue Print

Additionally, the United States Postal Service, which has over 500,000 employees and is the largest employer of veterans, with over 112,000 veterans, also put together a giant birthday card which was presented to Chavez in
Washington D.C. at the national Memorial Day ceremonies. The Spirit of Liberty Foundation needs volunteers to address special birthday thank you cards from Chavez, as well as collect the senders’ names, addresses and, where possible, emails.

A
s the end of the school year approaches, before it’s too late I want to circle back and follow up on the test return policy at the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD). In my April 27 column titled “Reviewing your child’s tests at home,” SDUHSD administrators made it clear that teachers are obligated to send tests and quizzes home upon request, to make it convenient and easier for parents to review them with their kids. Since then, I’ve heard from far too many parents saying that teachers are still refusing to send tests home. And principals are not helping. If teachers stall long enough, the point becomes moot. And that appears to be one very effective tactic. The day after my column ran, Torrey Pines High School parent Michael Robertson, who sued the district for not allowing tests to be sent home, had what began as a hopeful sign. Robertson said the TPHS principal, Rob Coppo, told Robertson, at long last, that his son’s tests could be picked up in the principal’s office to be taken home. Then here’s what happened next, according to Robertson:

This is your right, and parents and students are not being pushy or out of line by asking for this – repeatedly if need be. Student-to-counselor ratios Meredith Wadley, SDUHSD’s director of school and student services, spoke at the May 11 school board meeting on an agenda item titled “student wellness.” She said the national recommendation for the ratio of students to counselors is 491 to 1, and the Calif. average is 822 to 1. She congratulated the San Dieguito district for being below both averages, with a ratio of 430 to 1. She called this “remarkable.” However, Wadley didn’t cite her source for that national recommendation of 491:1. Two credible organizations had different numbers. The American School Counselor Association and the National Association of School Psychologists both recommend 250 students per counselor. At 430:1, San Dieguito is a long way from that 250:1 recommended number. I was able, however, to independently confirm Wadley’s state average. A chart compiled by the American School Counselor Association shows the student-to-counselor ratio by state in 2013-2014. The only state higher than Calif.’s 822:1 is Arizona at 941:1. An internal SDUHSD report shows that Canyon Crest Academy has a student-to-counselor ratio of 465:1, La Costa Canyon High School is 459:1, San Dieguito Academy is 475:1, and Torrey Pines High School is 419:1. The ratios at the district’s middle schools are in the 700s for Carmel Valley, Diegueno and SEE SUTTON, A22

“Principal says it’s at his office. I ask if my kid can pick it up. He says yes. My kid goes to pick it up, and they say, ‘We sent it to your dad.’ He tells me, and I tell him that I didn’t get them and to go back the next day. He goes back, and they give him a blank test but not with his answers. I tell them we need the tests and his answers. He goes back again to the principal’s office, and they say they don’t have it and he has to go to the teacher. He goes back to the teacher who says he ‘lost’ it.” And that, Robertson said, is “the end of a disappointing and frankly perplexing story.” Parents have the right to have their child’s tests sent home. SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Mike Grove said the district can and will compel reluctant teachers to send assessments home for parental review. So don’t give up or sit still for unreasonable barriers and delays. Go to your teachers and get the tests. If the teacher won’t deliver, go to the principal. And if that doesn’t work, call Mike Grove directly at the district office. Give them each one day – no more. And don’t take excuses that serve to delay until the information is no longer relevant.

OUR READERS WRITE Untold story is the state’s school funding formula On the field, Torrey Pines is our archrival. We delight in victories over and mourn losses against them, but take no delight in their recent treatment in the press. A critical fact, ignored in the May 14 San Diego Union-Tribune article, is the state’s school funding formula. California’s funding model provides the least funding to districts like ours. As a result, the SDUHSD receives the lowest funding per student of all high school districts in California: $18 million less than the average high school district, $25 million less than Escondido, $17 million less than Grossmont, and $13 million less than Sweetwater. Despite low income housing across the street from several district schools, the funding formula provides $1,431 less each year for each student regardless of their socioeconomic status. California intentionally shifts the funding burden to our parents! With $18 million less in funding, our district cannot fund athletics, arts or after-school programs, maintenance of baseball fields, or stadium bathrooms, or transportation, or game
officials, or gym lightbulbs, maintenance of the weight room, or uniforms, or balls, bats, or paint, clay, or computers. The total revenue of all four district foundations falls far short of $18 million per year, providing less than 30 percent of the shortfall. Yet, many of our district’s schools are nationally recognized. How does the lowest-funded high school district in California consistently produce the country’s top high schools? Our district is a model of exemplary outcomes achieved on a comparably low budget. If we are ever going to improve educational outcomes in this county, this state, and this nation, highlighting and studying how this district outpaces most others in measurable outcomes on the lowest funding in the state is where the Union-Tribune can make a valuable and transformative contribution to the narrative. Many district parents pay twice; shouldering a disproportionate amount of the tax burden, funding other districts that California deems more worthy, and voluntarily donating to their own district to make up the difference. The important, untold, story is this peculiar statewide school funding system, not the Torrey Pines baseball team or the foundation that supports it. Without these dedicated and generous parents, there would be no school
sports, arts, or extra-curricular activities in our district. Should we all carefully evaluate how we ask for money? Yes, we should and we will. Additional volunteer training is being planned and implemented. Should we illuminate the vagaries of the school funding formula in California? Absolutely. The Union-Tribune should aim their spotlight about 500 miles north onto Sacramento, where the problem starts. We are disappointed that they misdirected it onto our rivals on the playing fields, but our allies in supporting our children: the dedicated parent volunteers, coaches and staff of the Torrey Pines Foundation.

www.rsfreview.com FROM SOCCERCITY, A1 group), believes that San Diego has the potential to become the new soccer capital of America. Nick Stone told the Carmel Valley board that in addition to bringing a MLS soccer team to the city, they will also be able to draw international teams to their state-of-the-art facilities and SoccerCity’s community benefits will be “above and beyond.” “We’re taking a massive civic liability and not asking for a single penny of taxpayer dollars, creating a development that will generate 26,000 permanent jobs, $2.8 billion a year in ongoing economic impact, cuts $12 million a year from an ongoing liability, and solves a huge environmental problem because today when it rains all the pollution that sits in that parking lot goes directly into the river and creates $21.6 million a year in tax service for the city, county and schools,” Stone said. The SoccerCity plan also includes homes, hotels, retail and office space and 55 acres of green space with a “vibrant” new river park with biking and running trails and active-use playing fields. The plan also includes a training academy for youth soccer at the former Chargers training facility in Murphy Canyon. Former MLS and Team USA star Landon Donovan and National Soccer Hall of Famer Shannon McMillon, executive director for the Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks, are on board to help develop the youth academy. The facility will also be able to host international soccer squads Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona for “friendlies” in addition to 17 MLS games a year.

concerned with the process, including the Public Land Public Vote, the opposition group funded by Mission Valley property owners H.G. Fenton Company and Sudberry Properties. At the Carmel Valley and Torrey Hills planning board meetings, Joe LaCava spoke for Public Land Public Vote. “We’re against their proposal. They have been selling this with three ideas: soccer, soccer and soccer because they think that’s the way to appeal to the average San Diego voter. But from our point of view, a group of investors has taken advantage of a loophole in state law to use the citizen’s initiative process, which was really designed for grassroots efforts, to find a way for them to take over the Qualcomm Stadium property,” LaCava said. “That’s our property, that’s city-owned land. But they’ve jumped in front, they have behind closed doors created what they think is the vision for that property, crafted an initiative that outlines a deal structure, a permit process and implementation process of what they want to do for that property. We think that’s absolutely the wrong way to go about it for over 200 acres of publicly-owned land,” LaCava said. “It’s a unique opportunity for us as San Diegans to create a vision of what we could do with that property if Qualcomm Stadium is no longer part of that picture.” Carmel Valley planning board member Ken Farinsky said planning by initiative scares him because a lot of analysis that would otherwise happen gets lost and the development just “magically happens because people voted on it.” Stone said they did conduct a full environmental impact report and are
proposing mitigations that include contributing $50 million toward traffic improvements. Environmentally, he said, they can’t do much worse than the existing parking lot. LaCava argued that FS Investors’ analysis is “flawed” and that trip generations are understated, that the study area doesn’t meet San Diego standards and mitigations are “not adequate, not guaranteed and not possible.” Board members also voiced concerns about SoccerCity bypassing public input, particularly with the Mission Valley Community Planning Group. Stone said that they do plan to hold community meetings specific to the design of the river park and said a subcommittee has been formed at the Mission Valley Community Planning Group. The park is going to be built early in the process and Stone said they have a real incentive to create something for the community that’s really valuable and a place where people will want to come to. Stone said that FS Investors will pay the fair market value for the land as determined by a third party independent appraisal. The appraisal and lease will be known before the vote happens. LaCava said not only is it “unprecedented” that the mayor will write the lease without City Council input, he believes that the proposal is just a “massive land grab.” LaCava said the city has a policy about selling city-owned land that includes a request for proposals (RFP) process — the city puts the property out to as many bidders as possible to create competition, the price gets driven up and the city can get a better deal. LaCava said the city could add zoning and development rights to the land to make it
more valuable but what the initiative does is allow FS Investors to purchase the land as is, at fair market value, its “rock-bottom price”. Carmel Valley board member Shreya Sasaki wondered how long such a process could take and said the last thing people want is for Qualcomm Stadium to sit vacant for years. “A motivated city should be able to do an RFP in the course of a year,” LaCava said. Stone was less enthusiastic about the timeline. “Dysfunction for a decade, let’s be clear that’s what will happen,” Stone said. Carmel Valley board members Debbie Lokanc and Laura Copic also expressed concerns that San Diego State University (SDSU) is no longer on board — SDSU announced on May 16 that they have not been able to reach a “fair, equitable deal that would provide opportunity for the long-term success of SDSU and Aztec football, as well as a transparent deal for the citizens of San Diego” and have walked away from SoccerCity. Stone said they worked hard to create a project that could work for both MLS’ needs and SDSU football’s needs. For MLS soccer, they need about a 23,000-seat stadium and SDSU wanted slightly more — its games average about 25,000 fans. The proposed “hybrid” stadium would seat 33,500 and FS Investors also offered SDSU the option to purchase up to 47 acres for its long-term expansion needs in the future. Stone has said that despite SDSU’s statement that it is walking away from the table, FS Investors would still like to work with SDSU “to support long-term goals of an institution we care about deeply.” The university and SoccerCity are in the midst of a “sadly, a very public jumble,” Stone said.

FROM VENUE, A2 5,000 people and we’re not getting 500 people a day inside of it.” Depending on the number of events, the new venue would generate annual profits of between $1.2 million to $2 million, he said. Solana Beach and Del Mar both raised last-minute objections, outlining their concerns in a pair of letters submitted on the eve of the board meeting, and sending councilmembers to make their case in person. Both cities emphasized that they do not object to the concept, but believe that traffic, noise and environmental impacts will be severe enough that the fairgrounds should put the project through a state review
FROM SUTTON, A18 Oak Crest. Earl Warren is 536:1, and Pacific Trails is 602:1. Again not citing a source, Wadley in her report said the recommendation for students per school psychologists is 1,450:1. She told the board that San Dieguito is below that, at 1,076:1. But the National Association of School Psychologists recommends one psychologist for every 500 to 700 students. The NASP also recommends a ratio of students to social workers of 400:1. Wadley said San Dieguito just this year hired four social workers. The district has more than 12,000 students. Teacher salaries A comprehensive comparison of teacher salaries county-wide has been released by the San Diego County Office of Education for the 2016-2017 school year. As expected, given the contract wording that requires San Dieguito teachers to be the highest paid in the county, it turns out they are. For teachers with bachelor’s degrees, San Dieguito was the highest, with an average annual salary of $61,449 (daily rate of $330.37). The Del Mar Union School District ranked fifth, at $53,000, and the Encinitas Union School District ranked 27th, at $41,142. Gong back one year, in the county’s 2015-2016 report of teacher salaries for those with bachelor’s degrees, SDUHSD ranked first for those with 10, 15 and 20 years of experience. Average SDUHSD annual teacher salaries, according to the chart, are $101,806 for 10 years, $104,640 for 15 years, and $110,308 for 20 years. Del Mar ranked third in all three categories: $85,520 for 10 years of experience, $93,606 for 15 years, and $96,301 for 20 years. Encinitas ranked 17th for 10 years of experience ($73,233), ninth for 15 years ($85,575), and ninth for 20 years ($90,512). For teachers with master’s degrees, San Dieguito once again ranked first in all three categories (10, 15 and 20 years of experience) – and is about $20,000 higher than the districts ranked second. Specifically, for 10 years of experience, first is San Dieguito ($111,627 average salary), second is the County Office of Education ($89,832), and third is Del Mar ($88,020). For 15 years of experience, first is San Dieguito ($114,461 average salary), second is Del Mar ($96,106), and third is the County Office of Education ($95,219). For 20 years of experience, first is San
under the California Environmental Quality Act and/or the California Coastal Commission. “Think about your neighborhood and the many changes that have occurred over the past 30 years,” said Solana Beach Councilwoman Jewel Edson. “Do you think a study from three decades ago would serve as proper analysis?” The DAA, however, believes those fears will not manifest. “In the scale of events that the fairgrounds has regularly, this is relatively small,” said board member David Watson. “In an odd way, this opposition is the result of our success. Other than the gigantic events like Kaaboo, opening day [of race season], a few
days during the fair when there’s tens and tens of thousands of people coming, this fairgrounds operates day in day out, every day of the year, sometimes with multiple events, large, small, medium and otherwise, and there’s not a bit of problem, not a bit of controversy, not an issue of any kind. … I just don’t really see the traffic, parking, noise and other impacts that have been identified here today.” Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott urged the DAA to slow the process down, provide more detail on the kind of events that will be held there and overall to take better stock of the possible impacts. “We’re not arguing that this is the size of your major events. We’re arguing, I think,
that we’ve got to be very careful [that] security, traffic, noise, environmental are properly addressed,” he said. “So we just ask you to make sure that those bases are covered. We’re happy to work with you to try to help that, because we want you to be successful, but we don’t want to be successful at the expense of the surrounding community.” Once time came to vote, Watson reminded his fellow board members that the decision at hand was solely to approve the land use, and that there will be many opportunities in the year ahead to adjust their course on the project. “This is not the final word,” he said. “If at any point in the process … there’s issues or concerns, this board can address them.”
Dieguito ($120,129 average salary), second is Encinitas ($101,209), and third is Oceanside Unified ($100,306). Del Mar dropped to fifth ($98,668), behind fourth-ranked Cardiff ($100,169). SDCOE’s 2015-2016 chart of the Maximum Attainable Salary places San Dieguito on top, with a salary of $129,017. This is a daily rate of $693.64, which is more than $100 higher than the second-ranked district. Second on this list is Encinitas, with a salary of $108,615 (daily rate of $587.11). Del Mar is eighth, with a salary of $104,129 (daily rate of $562.86). Clearly, with that 12.5 percent raise last year, SDUHSD teachers are in good shape. The jury’s still out, though, on the district’s overall fiscal condition. Inexplicably, the Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe school districts are not included in the reports for 2015-2016 or 2016-2017. Solana Beach was included in the 2014-2015 chart, but not Rancho Santa Fe. Donations vs. fees Here’s an old topic that keeps coming back. Foundations and high school administrators need to be more clear about what’s a donation and what appears to be a mandatory fee. Foundations are not allowed to charge for physicals for students to participate in athletics. Flyers are not making it clear that these $25 “fees” are in reality voluntary donations – nor do all flyers state clearly that physicals can be obtained elsewhere. Also, those caps and gowns for graduation are technically not required. Students may wear whatever they want. If they do choose to wear the traditional cap and gown, each school has them available on loan at no charge. Information flyers are also not making these points clear. Athletic team managers cannot demand payment for … well, anything. And that includes riding the bus. Some teams are demanding bus money (typically $100) in order for kids to play their sport, which is illegal. One volleyball team parent communication reads, “The foundation has asked that everyone get the bus fee in ASAP, or your son may not be allowed to ride the bus to and from games. If they do not ride the bus, they cannot play.” The longer these tactics persist, the more likely entire programs will be jeopardized.

survey results and data. He referenced a California Healthy Kids survey of high school students which asked if they had an adult on campus that they felt cared about them and that they could talk to. Eighty-percent said yes, which Jaffe said could be seen as a success but he said what he would be most interested in is that 20 percent that said no and how a school could address the needs of those students. As part of the first meeting, Jaffe asked parents what he has asked all stakeholder groups during past WASC processes — what are the district’s strengths and where can they find room to grow? Parents mentioned areas of growth at R. Roger Rowe as more parental awareness of the school budget, efficient use of technology, communication tools and more opportunities for students such as a language lab and music. The strengths many parents could agree on: the small-town community school feel, the science and robotics programs, the K-8 experience, “extraordinary” parental involvement and the district’s strong financial status. Parent Jee Manghani prompted “awws” from those in attendance after he shared his view of the school’s strength. “A lot of the staff knows the names of the kids,” Manghani said. “My son would come home back in kindergarten and say ‘Everyone likes me.’ I’d ask ‘Why?’ and he said ‘Because everyone knows my name.’ It’s a small thing but it’s huge for them.” Jaffe said that was no small thing at all and part of his personal action plan is to learn the names of all of the school’s children and family members. “This is a great organization, with outstanding teachers and staff overall. I’m fortunate to be here, it’s a great parent community,” Jaffe said. “We have all the makings to take a wonderful school and make it even better for our kids.”
and has led three, including nine visits to other schools to help evaluate their programs. He also completed his own WASC reports during his time as principal at Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy. The action plan will look into several topics and include measures of success, findings and evidence that lead to areas of growth. Topics will include everything from school culture to parent/teacher communication and homework. The plan will establish what the various stakeholders believe about that topic and new ideas that come forward can be vetted through that action plan. Jaffe said the plan will be reviewed each year and modified for improvement. “I know that this can sound Utopian in its view and I get that,” Jaffe said. “In big, big schools yeah, this might be a little Utopian. But we’re so small that it really is something that we can accomplish.” Jaffe said there will be times when not everyone will agree but the process will be in place to talk about issues and find solutions. “In getting there, we have to get feedback,” Jaffe said, noting that he will look to survey parents, teachers and students often and hopes to get as much participation as possible. “Because we’re so small, I would love to see every family represented.” The first survey is expected to go out on June 9, asking for feedback about the year. Jaffe gave the example of the process that led to the recent middle school bell schedule changes, which occurred after Jaffe gathered anecdotal evidence from students and teachers. The idea was developed to change the schedule and it was then presented to parents. In the future, Jaffe hopes feedback from the surveys would help drive a change like that. Jaffe said there are different ways to look at

Heartland tunes warm ‘Spitfire Grill’ at North Coast Rep Theatre BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “The Spitfire Grill,” a down-home musical now in previews at North Coast Repertory Theatre, opened off-Broadway in 2001, and has been produced worldwide ever since. Called “soul-satisfying” by The New York Times, it’s about a young woman just released from prison who hopes to make a new life for herself in a small town far away from her sad, Southern roots. She manages to find a job as a waitress in a café called — you guessed it — The Spitfire Grill, and a room in the home of its crusty-but-kind-hearted owner. Step by step, she starts out on her rocky road to redemption. The musical was based on a 1996 film featuring Ellen Burstyn as the café owner, Marcia Gay Harden as a downtrodden young wife and mother, and the less-famous Alison Elliott as the unlucky but plucky ex-con. It won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and several years later, caught the attention of James Valcq and Fred Alley, two writers who were old high school music camp pals. They had just done a show at the American Folklore Theatre in Wisconsin, where lyricist/librettist Alley was co-founder and artist-in-residence, and thought they could turn the
COURTESY
Meghan Andrews, Devlin and Aurora Florence star in ‘The Spitfire Grill,’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre, May 31-June 25. film into a great, rootsy musical play. The show they came up with, replete with catchy, country-style tunes by New York-based composer/musician/former boy soprano Valcq, changed the locale from Maine to Wisconsin, combined two male characters into one, and gave the script a more upbeat ending. After a New Jersey production in 2000, where they were mentored by renowned
playwright/director Arthur Laurents, New York’s Playwrights Horizons chose it to kick off their 2001 season. Then, a week before the pre-show workshop, Alley died of a heart attack during a run near his Wisconsin home. He was only 38, and his untimely ending sounds sadly reminiscent of Jonathan Larson, creator of the mega-hit musical “Rent,” who died of a heart attack at 35 the night before his off-Broadway opening.
But, as with “Rent,” “The Spitfire Grill” goes on. At NCRT, it’s helmed by Jeffrey Moss, an award-winning director whose credits include developing new musicals and staging tours of Broadway hit shows. In 2014, he came to NCRT to direct “Rothschild & Sons,” which went on to New York and is now headed for London. Last year, artistic director David Ellenstein invited him back and gave him a copy of
“The Spitfire Grill” to consider. “I’d heard of the show, but never seen it,” Moss said. “It was a new discovery for me, a kind of hidden treasure. I’m all about putting humanity on the stage, and this one does it in a very lyrical and sweet way.” Moss compares “Spitfire” to classic musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein. “There are tunes, real tunes, and the songs are compelling,” he said. “They tell the story, expose the hearts of the characters, and reach out and connect with the audience. I don’t call this a play with music, I call it a folk opera; it has strong, big emotions that are captured in the songs, and there’s a sense of humor too. And NCRT is such an intimate theater, a good match for the show.” The cast is terrific, Moss added, and even in rehearsal, the play is moving. There’s live music, too, by a trio of local musicians, playing guitar, mandolin, violin and cello. As one of the songs goes: “Something’s cooking at the Spitfire Grill.” See for yourself, through June 25, at NCRT. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Spitfire Grill” is on stage through June 25 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach.

RSF artist to show steampunk jewelry at arts festival BY KAREN BILLING ancho Santa Fe jewelry artist Susan Horvitz Perez will be one of nearly 200 artists featured in the San Diego Festival of the Arts at downtown’s Waterfront Park June 10-11. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, artists will display diverse works of painting, sculpture, photography, glass, jewelry, ceramics, wood, fiber and mixed-media. In Susan Horvitz addition to the Perez artwork, there will be live music, outdoor games, live art, silk painting, a craft beer and wine garden, and a variety of cuisine from San Diego’s top restaurants. This will be Horvitz Perez’s seventh year participating in the festival and the second year that the event will be held at the Waterfront Park after 29 years in La Jolla. “I have to tell you I forget I’m working because it’s so gorgeous,” said Horvitz Perez, noting last year her booth faced toward the scenic bay. “It’s one of the best venues that I’ve ever worked at.” She said she loves that the park is located in a spot where people can walk from their high-rise homes or the nearby Little Italy Mercato Farmers’ Market and tourists can wander over from the cruise ships. “We had such an incredible response from
artists, guests and the community after the move from La Jolla to downtown San Diego’s Waterfront Park for the 2016 event ,” said Don Ludwig, co-director of the 2017 festival. “We are thrilled to have so many wonderful artists committed to this year’s festival set in such a stunning venue to showcase their work.” The event is hosted by the Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation and proceeds go toward charities benefitting adaptive sports programs for San Diegans with disabilities. To date, the festival has raised more than $2 million in support of more than 30 programs such as Wheelchair Lacrosse, Helen Woodward Animal Center’s therapeutic riding program, Sharp Rehabilitation Center adaptive sailing and quad rugby, and the Adaptive Sports and Recreation Association. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Horvitz Perez’s work will go toward Operation Game On, which helps rebuild the lives of combat-injured troops through the game of golf. As Horvitz Perez has been making jewelry for over 30 years she said she’s “winding down now” and enjoys giving back to such a worthy cause. Horvitz Perez got her start making safety pin bracelets for friends and eventually grew to selling her jewelry and participating in art shows. She carved a studio into the corner of the spare bedroom of her home and changes styles with the seasons and year by year as different trends come into focus. “With jewelry, you have to keep changing

Her latest line of jewelry is steampunk style, what she calls a cross between science fiction and the Victorian era. Her earrings, necklaces and a few bracelets feature a lot of gears, vintage hardware and gadgets. She hunts for vintage treasures in stores and
online and incorporates the pieces into her designs. “It’s a fun and fascinating style because there’s a lot of moving parts,” Horvitz Perez said. “If you’re wearing my earrings, they’re always moving.” Right now she has a line of necklaces she calls “The Key to Time” as they feature a lot of gears and old watch parts with antique keys. Her pieces range in price from $20 to $30 so she is busy making a lot of pieces to bring to the show. “My creativity comes out when I get to crunch time, all of the ideas just start coming,” Horvitz Perez said. “I get in my little room and I’m just making, making, making.” Most of the San Diego Festival of the Art 2016’s Best of Show winners will be back this year, including Dorothee Naumburg, a celebrated jewelry designer who spent three years apprenticing under a master goldsmith in Germany before coming to the U.S. and building a career in sculptural and understated jewelry. The Textile Best of Show winner MOA (Marvin Obasogie) Aimiuwu will also return, showcasing his unique batik dyed textile work in custom-designed, individually hard-carved frames. Tickets for the festival start at $12. To learn more, visit sdartsfest.org. Waterfront Park is located at the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego, 92101.

Del Mar bridal shop donates dress to military bride
BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY une 8 plays a big role in Jesca Daniels’ and Mark Daniels’ lives. It’s the day that the San Diego couple will finally have a proper wedding ceremony after being married for eight years. It’s also the day their world changed forever in 2013. Mark, a U.S. Marine, was traveling with his dog, Aura, and other service members in a vehicle after a patrol in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device detonated under the car. Mark, who was sitting with Aura toward the front of the vehicle, was flung to the rear and knocked unconscious, resulting in a traumatic brain injury, Jesca said. After being sent back to the U.S. and months of rehab, with Jesca helping him with daily tasks like getting out of bed and putting on clothes, Mark, 34, decided he wanted to have a proper wedding. He also decided to stay enlisted, despite being offered medical retirement. “I never thought I wanted a wedding,” Jesca, 35, said. “We just decided back then we didn’t really need to do anything big. When Mark got injured in 2013, I guess that made him realize that he wanted those memories with all of our friends and family.” Hope for the Warriors, which supports wounded soldiers and veterans, granted the couple’s wish to pay for a wedding in Mark’s hometown of St. Louis, Mo. The June 8 ceremony will include about 60 of the couple’s friends and family members, Jesca said. Aura, who was injured with Mark in the explosion, is in the wedding, along with the Danielses’ two young daughters. In addition to the free ceremony, The Bustle Bridal Boutique in Del Mar, offered to donate a dress and alterations to Jesca, totaling about $1,800. The Bustle owner Jason Pasiut, who served in the U.S. Army and medically retired in 2010 due to injuries he sustained while serving in Iraq, said he felt a need to help the Danielses. “I totally relate to that couple and would do anything for people like them,” said Pasiut, who had his hip replaced as a result of a combat injury three months before his own wedding. “I know all about having a disability. I know [Jesca’s] husband has disabilities that would allow him to retire but he decided to stay in. I have nothing but respect for someone who makes a decision like that. It was the icing on the cake for me to help his wife.” The Bustle, which has donated dresses to military brides on several occasions over the years, treated Jesca to a private fitting room with consultants, champagne and cake as she selected through six dresses before ultimately deciding on “the one,” Pasiut said. “It didn’t hit me until I actually put the dress on that [a wedding] was something I wanted to do, too,” Jesca said. “I started crying when I put it on. I felt so beautiful.” She said she is grateful to The Bustle and Hope for the Warriors for their support. “I’ve told them thank you 10 million times and I’ll probably say it 10 million more

RANCHO SANTA FE — Alyson Goudy, wife of the late Dr. George Goudy, passed away at her home surrounded by her children on April 2, 2017. She is survived by her daughter, Thiere Goudy; daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Wil Spink; son and daughter-in-law, Blaise and Molly Goudy; as well as five grandchildren. Born in San Diego, Alyson grew up between La Jolla and Gadsden, Alabama. She was a graduate of the University of Arizona, Pi Beta Phi chapter president, and an honorary alumni of Washington State University. Alyson was always involved in contributing to her local community wherever she lived. She brought a sense of
elegance and creativity along with her passion to serve. She served on the boards of Country Friends, UCSD Friends of the Library, Stanford Museum, Junior League, National Charity League and WSU Foundation. Her tenure on the board of Country Friends spanned over 20 years. Alyson was
recognized as a Woman of Distinction by the Salvation Army in 1988. Her creativity extended into every facet of life Alyson dove into. She was a savant in the kitchen, cooking ‘by the seat of her pants’. She brought southern elegance to what would later be known as fusion cooking. She had a unique ability to dive into the cupboards and create a world class meal without looking at a single recipe. Later in her life Alyson followed her father Louis J Rice Jr’s passion in the financial markets, primarily stocks, researching companies to invest in, and sharing her ideas with her children and her Blue Chip Broads investment club. Wednesday Club, Country Friends fashion shows,
Sundays in the Park fundraisers, gardening, travel and many other activities filled her days. Never without a project or endeavor, Alyson began fly fishing and golfing after her husband George passed away, even landing large steelhead on the Klamath River. Alyson’s life will be celebrated with a service at 10:00am on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at St Peters Episcopal Church in Del Mar. In lieu of flowers, Alyson requested donations in her honor to The Country Friends, PO Box 142, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

Step into Summer with Confidence: Zap Those Varicose Veins and Spider Veins DR. VAN CHENG
San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer, and with this warm weather, Southern California will see no shortage of days perfect for bathing suits and shorts. However, for many women, bathing suits and shorts bring on a sense of dread, even anxiety. Body insecurity is a very real force and should not be dismissed as vanity or overreaction. In a culture celebrating perfection, any perceived imperfection can be a hit to a woman’s self-esteem (or any person’s, for that matter). But besides weight and muscle tone, there is a condition that causes a lot of dread for women who are afraid to expose their legs: the presence of varicose veins and spider veins.
PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222 gdcconstruction.com
Varicose veins, those blue ropes under the skin, are in fact a medical condition, which means they should not go untreated. While varicose veins are common enough, they are weakened veins that allow blood to pool, which can lead to much more serious medical conditions. While removal using sclerotherapy doesn’t prevent future varicose veins from forming, the procedure closes off the weakened and problematic veins, leaving legs smoother and healthier.
considered a medical condition—meaning that any treatment, such as with a simple laser therapy—is considered “cosmetic” and won’t be covered by most insurance plans.
Spider veins, on the other hand, are much more common and quite harmless. Spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. Though they are much smaller than varicose veins, occurring closer to the surface of the skin, they can clump and cause purple or red discolorations in the legs. Though they are also caused by weakened lining of the vein, there are not as significant as their older varicose cousin, and so are not
However, don’t underestimate the power of a “cosmetic” procedure. For some women, having clear and smooth legs free of spider veins means having the confidence to live their best life, not worrying about judgment or comparison to others. Self-confidence is a powerful tool, one that goes a long way to establishing overall wellbeing. With self-confidence and wellbeing, very often stress and anxiety can be reduced (or better managed), which can subsequently lower blood pressure. And when blood pressure is lowered, the risk for getting more spider veins or varicose veins can also be reduced.
laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by the body’s tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the office on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after a surf session or beach jog. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel. Both procedures are incredibly safe and easy and can be done with a quick in-office visit. If your spider veins have you dreading summer and you are ready for laser treatment, or if you want to know more about laser therapy or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.
So what is the difference between the laser therapy required for removing spider veins and the sclerotherapy used for removing varicose veins? When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the

Famed Coding Camp Hits Solana Beach/Del Mar
Leading Coding (programming) for kids and STEAM (Science, Technology, Arts, Math and Engineering) education innovator – CodeREV – has expanded its popular tech summer camps to get more students coding and creating instead of losing critical skills over the summer. CodeREV offers these camps in locations throughout California, including Point Loma for the first time and Solana Beach / Del Mar for the second year in a row. Through CodeREV tech summer camps, students from first grade to tenth learn skills that are not only useful and fun for creating incredible school projects; they are marketable skills such as coding, higher order thinking, math, game development and robotics that are in demand for the knowledge workers of tomorrow. In addition, the camps offer fun and unique outdoor activities that strengthen
team-building and allow students to run and play. “Students love to play video games, but they love to create them even more. At CodeREV, we teach kids how to create their own eye-popping video games and 3D worlds and use engaging games like Minecraft to sharpen their math skills. Educators know that over the summer months, students typically lose up to one third of the knowledge they learned in the previous school year. Our camps not only help students retain those skills, they help them work in fields of interest that employers report are in short supply,” shared CodeREV Founder and CEO Evan Boorman. “Students love our camps because the courses and skills they learn are fun and geared toward their interests. Parents love our tech summer camps because the curriculum is relevant to high-demand 21st century skills.” CodeREV curriculum is supported by education technology specialists out of graduate schools of education from Stanford, MIT, and Harvard. Its teachers are real programmers with real-world tech experience, who also possess a true passion for teaching - a craft they have come to love through hands-on experience guiding kids to become creators. Find out more about their camps at www.coderevkids.com/camps or give them a call at (619) 609-7432.

Hunter Lysaught supporting Surf Marathon for Walking On Water June 3 Hunter Lysaught, a sales associate affiliated with the Rancho Santa Fe office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, is supporting a Surf Marathon fundraiser for Walking On Water on Saturday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cardiff Reef. Lysaught’s Surf Marathon fundraiser is part of an international Surf Marathon event with participants trying to catch 5,000 cumulative waves and raise $75,000 for Walking On Water. Participating surfers are responsible for raising funds through sponsorships. “Walking On Water is an outstanding organization with which I have been involved in various capacities, and I am happy to give back through this event,” said Lysaught. “I will be a part of a large group of international participants that will attempt to catch 5,000 waves on or before June 3. I am going to catch 100 waves in one day, and with the support of sponsors, I hope to raise $1,000.” Active since 1995, Walking On Water is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with this generation’s global surfing community. Funds raised through the Surf Marathon will go toward the completion of Walking On Water’s current movie “Surfers and Cowboys,” various ministry and outreach events, surf camps and
movie premier tours. “Surfing has always provided opportunity and balance in my life and kept me motivated to pursue my dreams and relationships with other people. My life would be drastically different, for the worse, if I did not have surfing and Jesus,” said Lysaught. “It is rewarding to serve with this organization because it is important for the youth to be introduced to the love of Jesus Christ. God has given me everything in my life — a loving family, friends, the ocean, community, relationships, freedom and forgiveness. Through surfing, I have been able to see more of God’s character and greatness, and it inspires me to give back.” Lysaught was on the international World Surf League (WSL) for two years upon graduation from college after having earned the Collegiate State Championship Title in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) in 2011 and 2nd place in the NSSA National Championship in 2010. He still enjoys very early morning surf sessions, filming/video projects, shooting photos and mentors youth through North Coast Calvary Chapel Church and Walking on Water Surf ministry.
